Help needed with a coppermine gallery (login problems)

Post by Glassius »

I know there has been several threads about mirroring coppermine galleries, and thanks to them i have an idea of how to mirror it, but my problem does look like problems with the login process.
The reason i believe this is PicaLoader only downloads 6 images no matter how many pages it scans, and these 6 pages are only present if you haven't logged in, e.g. the page telling you to log in. If you were logged in the only page on the urls specified in the project should be the images i wanted.
I have tried with using the ie cookie and turning the ie cookie off and using the manual login, but i get the same result with both. So if anyone could help me with this i would very much appreciate it!

The url in question is www.jessicaalba.at (registration is free)
The scan url i use is: http://www.jessicaalba.at/displayimage. ... fullsize=1
The low number is just to test if it works

Thanks in advance!

edit: made a login for you guys so you don't have to register to test it out

First, open IE cookie, login with "Remember me" checked.

Create a new project, set the default setting:
Page URL Include Filters: album=\d+$;album=\d+&pos=\d+$;pid=\d+&fullsize=1$
Picture URL Inlude Filters: /albums/
Picture URL Exclude Filters: normal_;thumb_

Then add new tasks, just set the start URL as the catalog's URL, e.g http://www.jessicaalba.at/index.php?cat=11 for wallpaper catalog.

Check the attached project for detail.
Don't forget to change the picture folder if you using my project directly.

Thanks, haven't tested it yet since i managed it in the end. I just set it to scan all the pages that are showing the "normal_" pictures and set up a filter in ad-muncher(a powerfull ad remover) to change all occurences of "/normal_<something>.jpg" into "/<something>.jpg" making the page showing the medium sized image with the normal_ prefix instead show the full size image, worked fine. Will try out your way and get back to you on how it works, but i did check the "remember me" box earlier.
